Bruce's Yams, Sweet Potatoes in Syrup15 oz can (8 pack)The largest-selling brand of canned yams in the U.S.
Specs:
Cornbread is an easy one if you use a mix. I like mine sweet with jalapenos- I use this mix and chop up a jalapeno and stir it in. I like mine spicy, so I leave the seeds in, but some folks like to de-seed the jalapeno(s) first. You might want to just leave out the jalapenos altogether though- it's more of a southwest/tex-mex thing than a southern thing. If you overcook it it'll be dry, so make sure to stay on top of it- take it out as soon as a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out without batter on it (it's ok if there are some crumbs, though). Greasing the pan with bacon grease is another great trick - the sweet, savory, and spicy all together is a wonderful combination (even without the jalapenos this is still a great trick). They're best served warm from the oven with butter, and they make fantastic breakfast fare too.
Candied yams is another easy one. Here's a good recipe IMO. Be aware that they're supposed to be quite soft when they're done - almost creamy in consistency- so depending on the recipe you might have to leave them in for longer than it calls for. And yes, it's supposed to be that sweet! It'll probably taste like dessert to you- almost like a pudding. You could also always go the canned route too, but it's not as good IMO. This brand isn't terrible IMO. They'll be a nice side dish to yorkshire pudding and a roast, I think - the sweet and creamy of the yams will be a nice contrast to the fluffy and savory of the roast/pudding. In this case, garlic will still work for the roast, but I'd stay away from rosemary (rosemary + yams aren't the best combination).
Some steamed green beans would be a good addition too, and they're hard to fuck up. Make sure not to overcook them though! They should be softer than raw, but still just able to "snap" when bent in half. And don't add dairy to them- fresh steamed veggies are supposed to be a counterpoint to the richness of the rest of the meal. We add a lot of butter to things, but besides cream in mashed potatoes, most folks don't like dairy in their veggies here (the sole exception being the midwest, who are mostly descended from nordic immigrants- they really like their "hot dish" there, lol).
But YSK I'm not a southern girl, so you should take the advice of the other ladies in this thread when it contradicts mine :)
